Here are the presentation materials for the MLK speech in Mr. Tanner's class, pd. 4 (group members: Morgan Smith, Ariel Chung, and Ryan Christ). If you have any questions about the speech I would be more than happy to help although I'll be away so I will probably not be able to respond until Monday morning. Thank you.

At the end of his speech, MLK cites the Negro spiritual entitled "Free at Last." Here is a copy of that song:

Free At Last

Free at last, free at last,
Thank God Almighty, I'm free at last.
The very time I thought I was lost,
Thank God Almighty, I'm free at last;
My dungeon shook and my chains fell off,
Thank God Almighty, I'm free at last,
This is religion, I do know,
Thank God Almighty, I'm free at last;
For I never felt such a love before,
Thank God Almighty, I'm free at last.
